ABOUT OUR PROGRAM Psychology is defined as the scientific study of behaviour and experience. Thus, it covers a multitude of applications and theoretical viewpoints - from sensation and perception to social behaviour and pathology. At Glendon, we try to offer a balanced selection of viewpoints, while emphasizing the importance of an empirical approach to the discipline. Students seeking to major in psychology often find Glendon Campus, and the Psychology Department, a particularly appealing environment in which to study. Although the Psychology faculty complement is relatively small, the Department is noteworthy in two respects. Firstly, individual faculty members are actively involved in almost all areas of psychology, providing students with a considerable breadth of knowledge on which to draw. Secondly, because Glendon is relatively small, students are able to get to know and to interact with the professors directly and informally, rather than through a network of teaching assistants. Such personal attention to students contributes substantially to the very good foundation in psychology that our students receive. In addition to a Bachelor of Arts, the program also offers a Bachelor of Science. 3 4

WHY STUDY PSYCHOLOGY? Psychology is the scientific study of behaviour and experience. Within our program, you can examine a variety of fields and viewpoints, including child development, sensation, perception, animal behaviour, social psychology, abnormal psychology, cognitive neuropsychology and more. WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A BA AND A BSC IN PSYCHOLOGY? The core courses in Psychology are the same whether a student chooses a BA or BSc. Within the BSc, some of the courses outside the Psychology major are in mathematics and science (mathematics, biology, and computer science). For a BA, courses outside the major tend to be in the arts (social sciences and humanities). WHAT CAN YOU DO WITH A PSYCHOLOGY DEGREE? Psychological training is relevant to professional careers in counselling, clinical settings, correctional settings and hospitals. It also provides relevant background in many job areas, such as teaching, social work, personnel services, and business. In Ontario clinical psychologists must have obtained a Ph.D. and fulfilled the requirements of the College of Psychologists of Ontario. 7 8

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS HOW MANY COURSES DO I NEED IN MY MAJOR/MINOR? The number of courses required in the major/minor varies according to the program and concentration which you wish to pursue. Specific program requirements are outlined in the York University Undergraduate Calendar. Please review them carefully and if you have any questions, please contact the Office of Academic Services. CAN A COURSE BE USED TO SATISFY THE REQUIREMENTS OF MY MAJOR AND MY MINOR? A cross-listed course can be used to satisfy the requirements of your major OR of your minor, but not both. CAN A SINGLE COURSE BE USED TO SATISFY THE REQUIREMENTS OF MY MAJOR AND MY GENERAL EDUCATION REQUIREMENTS AT THE SAME TIME? Cross-listed course can be used to satisfy the requirements of both your major and your General Education requirements. For example, GL/PSYC 3680 3.0 (EN) which is cross-listed with GL/NATS 3680 3.0 (EN) will count for 3 credits only, but it satisfies two requirements (major requirement in Psychology and General Education requirement in Natural Science). IF I COMPLETE THE MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS FOR MY MAJOR AND THEN TAKE ADDITIONAL COURSES IN MY MAJOR, WILL THE ADDITIONAL COURSES BE INCLUDED IN MY AVERAGES? YES. All courses taken are included in the calculation of your cumulative overall and major grade point averages. WHAT GRADE POINT AVERAGES DO I NEED TO GRADUATE? BA degree (90 credits) Cumulative overall average: 4.0 (C) Cumulative major average: 4.0 (C) WHAT DOES ACADEMIC PROBATION MEAN? Honours BA degree (120 credits) Cumulative overall average: 5.0 (C+) Cumulative major average: 5.0 (C+) Students are placed on academic probation because their averages are below the requirements for their level. Once students are placed on academic probation, they must watch their averages very carefully - obtaining grades of D+ and below while on probation will result in debarment from the University for two years. Therefore, passing courses at the University level is not sufficient. Students must maintain the minimum averages for their level published in the York University Undergraduate Calendar (Glendon section) to be eligible to continue in their program at Glendon Campus. I WOULD LIKE TO TAKE A COURSE AS A VISITING STUDENT AT ANOTHER UNIVERSITY? Before applying to become a visiting student at another university, you need to obtain a Letter of Permission (LOP), which is available from the Academic Services, Room C105 York Hall. If the course which you wish to take is in your major, the authorization of your major department/program is required. WHAT IS THE TRILINGUAL AND BILINGUAL PROGRAM (IBA)? The international Bachelor of Arts (iba) programs offer a top-quality liberal arts education with an international perspective. Available as a bilingual or trilingual program, the iba allows a student to reflect on international issues within and beyond their area of specialization. For more information, please visit the website of the Recruitment and Liaison: http://www.glendon.yorku.ca/iba WHAT ARE ACADEMIC ACCOMMODATIONS? Academic accommodations are adjustments to the learning environment that support your academic endeavours while at the same time maintaining the essential academic requirements of the course and program of study.
